§ MR. T. M. HEALY (Louth, N.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture, if he will explain why no representative of the Irish seed trade was appointed on the Departmental Committee on Agricultural Seeds, seeing that it includes an English seedsman and a Scotch seedsman.
§ * THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. LONG,) Liverpool, West DerbyIn consultation with my right hon. friend the Vice-President of the Irish Department of Agriculture, I selected the members of the Departmental Committee in question to the best of my judgment, and the question of their nationality did not enter into our consideration.
